In Response to Childhood Obesity Epedemic, Educational Book Teaches Young Readers about Food and its Purpose

BookSurge proudly announces the publication of Look What I’m Eating, by Tracy Hauseman -- A delightful, educational book that teaches young readers about food and its purpose.

NEW BUFFALO, MI November 8, 2005 -- Inspired by alarming daily reports on rising obesity and type II diabetes in children, Tracy Hauseman was convinced to write an entertaining, yet educational book for children about the nutritional purpose of food. According to the American Obesity Society, “Childhood Obesity is not a disease, it’s an epidemic,” an epidemic that Tracy Hauseman has confronted through writing for children.

Look What I’m Eating will help educate children from a young age (targeted at ages 3-8) about food, its purpose and the effect food has on our bodies. Poor eating habits and lack of nutritional education are two of the contributors to the downgrade of American children’s health. Look What I’m Eating uses rhyme to help children understand that food is more than something we put in our mouths to taste. It teaches them how the vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates in foods are used to fuel and nourish their bodies.

Teaching children through reading at a young age about how food affects their growth will inspire them to make healthy choices; and those choices are more likely to stick with them for life. Look What I’m Eating is a great educational resource that can be used at school and home to introduce the concept of healthy eating to children. It has been reviewed by a pediatrician for nutritional accuracy. This book will help children begin to understand the importance of healthy eating habits and makes learning about good nutrition as much fun as eating good food!

About the Author:
Tracy Hauseman has united her “love for children” with her “love for healthy eating” to bring us Look What I’m Eating. Writing in her spare time, Mrs. Hauseman felt a need to write and educate young children about the purpose of food as a result of the growing epidemic of obesity and type II diabetes; both of which can be prevented. Mrs. Hauseman has two young children of her own who love to eat and choose to eat good, healthy food. Together they talk about healthy eating and taking good care of their bodies. Her hope for this book is to share what her family knows with all who are concerned about being as healthy as they can be.
